Ramon.Space is preparing to launch a prototype orbital data center in collaboration with Ingrasys, targeting a first demonstration mission as early as 2026.<\/p>\n
The initiative marks a new step in the emerging race to deploy computing infrastructure in space, with the companies aiming to build scalable in-orbit data processing capabilities by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n
The partnership builds on collaboration that began in 2023, when Ingrasys started manufacturing Ramon.Space\u2019s radiation-hardened electronics at scale. The next phase will focus on launching early prototypes and expanding orbital data center operations over the following years.<\/p>\n
Unlike other concepts that seek to shift terrestrial data processing into orbit, Ramon.Space is focusing on enabling satellites to process data directly in space, reducing latency and easing the burden on ground-based infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe volume of data being generated in orbit is outpacing what ground infrastructure can realistically handle,\u201d the company said in a statement. \u201cSpace-based data centers are the logical answer, bringing processing capability closer to where the data is actually created.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ramon.Space brings flight heritage to the project, having supplied space-grade processors for around 50 missions, including satellites operated by OneWeb, as well as projects involving European Space Agency and NASA.<\/p>\n
The company said its processors are designed to withstand harsh space conditions, including radiation exposure, extreme temperature variations and power constraints, while enabling autonomous operation.<\/p>\n
Initial \u201cearly sample\u201d systems are expected to fly in 2026, followed by further launches in 2027 and 2028 as the companies scale the concept.<\/p>\n
The planned orbital data centers are intended to support a range of satellite applications, including Earth observation and communications missions, particularly those with government and security requirements.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
